Q & A
 

Q: What made you want to write Fleetwood Dreams?

​​

A: I wanted to be brutally honest about how grief and loss affected me, so that others feel they have a safe place to do the same. I also wanted others to feel less alone in their trauma and grief and provide them with a little hope.

​​

Q: How much of your book is true?

​​

A: All of it to the best of my knowledge and research. Some names and addresses were changed for privacy.

​​

Q: What was the hardest part about writing your book?

​​

A: Going back to some of the most difficult times in my life. In a way, it felt like I was reliving some of those moments all over again. Only this time, I was looking at them through an adult lens. I promised myself to keep going though, in hopes my book could help at least one person.

​​​

Q: What do you hope others get out of your book?

​​

A: I hope when they are finished reading it, they are left with a little hope. I want them to know that they too can share their story (whatever it is), and that they are not alone in their journey. I want others know that their story is important too, and that if they are going through grief and hardships, or just struggling...whatever they are feeling—it is okay! And that it will get better. I also hope they remember that grief is okay! It's normal and it's okay to talk about!
